I’m so glad I came across your blog. We’ve have spent thousands on dog training and had two trainers quit on us because of our “untrainable” dog. We’ve been told to medicate our dog, which I’m not in agreement with, but have chosen to try an e-collar. The ecollar has amazing effect on her behavior. Thanks for all you do.
